บททั้งหมดของ The Company’s Owner Is Mad That I Got Fired: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

“Andy, you’re finally here.”The guy at the reception winked at me when he saw me. Then, he spoke to me in a low voice. “The company’s heiress is back. Bill Rozman won’t be easy to deal with today!”“What happened? Isn’t she currently overseas?” I asked. The company’s heiress, Cadence Hall, was the company’s CEO, Mdm. Hall’s, only child. But in the six months since I joined the company, she had not shown even up once. She claimed she was studying abroad.“You didn’t know? Mdm. Hall had a sudden heart attack last night and is in the ICU. She hasn’t regained consciousness yet!”The front desk guy started gossiping. “The Hall family rushed their eldest daughter back from abroad overnight. They say she’ll temporarily take over managing the company. She’s at the airport now and will be here any minute.”My heart skipped a beat.Mdm. Hall? In the ICU?I had just run into her at the office yesterday afternoon.I pulled out my phone, intending to call Mdm. Hall’s assistant to ask a

My blood boiled instantly. “Watch your mouth, Cadence!”“Did I hit a nerve? Are you getting angry because you’re embarrassed?” Cadence sneered at me with contempt.“My father died twenty years ago, and my mother never remarried.”“Your skills aren’t nearly good enough for your attempts at being my stepfather.”Bill covered his mouth before he let out an exaggerated gasp for effect.“Cadence, don’t get angry. How could our top salesperson possibly harbor improper intentions toward Mdm. Hall?“He’s just a staff member. Surely, he has enough self-awareness to know his place? He probably just idolizes Mdm. Hall too much.”His surrounding cronies chimed in, “Exactly! Don’t take this deadbeat seriously, Ms. Hall.”“What gives this lowly worker the nerve to covet the position of the CEO’s husband?”The room erupted in laughter.As I stared at the ignorant fool before me, I felt a surge of nausea.Suppressing my rage, I spoke coldly. “Caring about Mdm. Hall’s health is my duty as a

I ignored everyone.Bending down, I picked up the termination notice from the floor and brushed the dust off it.Then, I took out a pen and signed my name in the signature field.After signing, I handed the termination notice back to the apologetic HR manager.“Andy, I had no choice,” the HR manager whispered.I shook my head and indicated that I knew it was not his fault.After that, I dialed my father’s number in front of everyone.The phone rang just once before he answered, “What’s the matter, Son?”I glanced at Cadence, who was sitting across from me with an arrogant, domineering air. Then, I calmly said, “Dad, cancel my engagement with the Hall family’s heiress. Cadence Hall is unworthy of entering our family!”Before my father could respond, I hung up.The entire office fell silent before erupting into incredulous laughter.Bill was the first to react.He clutched his stomach as he laughed uncontrollably.“Andy, have you lost your mind from shock?“Cancel the eng

The vast office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.Cadence’s face was ashen, and her body swayed dangerously as if she might collapse.Bill’s legs gave way completely, and he slumped to the floor.I nodded and said to Mr. Jean, “Thank you for your assistance.”“My pleasure.”Mr. Jean straightened up and gazed coldly at the termination notice on the desk as well as Cadence.His stare sent a chill down Cadence’s spine.“Mr. Lyon, let’s go.”I hummed in acknowledgment and turned to leave this sickening place. Cadence suddenly snapped out of it.“Ronaldo!” she screamed as she lunged forward to grab my hand.“Ronaldo, let me explain!”The two bodyguards behind her immediately stepped forward and grabbed her on either side.“Let me go! Do you know who I am?!” Cadence struggled frantically. “I’m Ronaldo’s fiancee!”Mr. Jean turned back and glared at her.“Ms. Hall, please have some self-control.”“Ronaldo! I was wrong! I truly was wrong!”The bodyguards held her back

Following multiple blows, Hall Group had swiftly declared bankruptcy and liquidated its assets.Cadence sold off the company and her property just to barely repay the bank loans and client penalties.However, the massive gambling debts she had accumulated overseas became the final straw that broke her back.Debt collectors came knocking, which forced her into a life of hiding and running. She was utterly miserable.Friends who once surrounded her avoided her like the plague.She fell from the clouds into the mud and lived a life more wretched than the lowest vagrant.Somehow, she found my contact information.She began calling and texting me from various numbers.At first, it was curses and accusations because she blamed me for destroying everything she had.Later, they turned to repentance and apologies. She claimed to know she was wrong and begged for my forgiveness.Finally, they devolved into pleading and begging. She asked me to lend her money, even just a little, so tha
